Figures & data

Table 1. Between season changes in the mean (± 95% CI) numbers of individuals of each age class which comprised the total population, territorial subpopulation and non-territorial subpopulation.

Table 2. A comparison of the availability and mean (± 95% CI) percentage of the swan population using each of six habitats in the River Frome catchment.

Table 3. The influence of year, season, swan social group and the swan*social group interaction on the electivity values for six habitat categories, as illustrated by a general linear model. Biological significance is shown in .

Figure 1. Seasonal differences in mean (± se) habitat electivity (s) of the non-territorial (dark bars) and territorial (light bars) subpopulations, indicating habitat preference (positive values) or avoidance (negative values).
